Common names:No common name. All
Euscorpius were previously placed in the family Chactidae. Like
E. carpathicus, this is a species with high intraspecific
variation, and 10 subspecies are known. Future research might show that
E. mingrelicus is a species complex, and that some
populations/subspecies might be elevated to species status in the future
(like E. gamma).

Distribution:Asia (Georgia, Syria, Turkey and
Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Romania,
Russia, Slovenia and Yugoslavia). There is some uncertainty about the full
distribution of this species, and reports from some countries might be
misidentifications of other species.

Habitat:This species is found in mountainous areas
with high humidity (forrest habitat). Reported from river valleys in
Austria. Hide under stones and other suitable objects on the ground, but
are also found under the bark of dead trees and logs. Little is known
about the biology of this species.

Venom:No medical data available, but data from
other Euscorpius species suggest local effects only. Mildly
venomous. Harmless scorpion, which rarely will use its stinger.
